Presentation slides: Physician Clinical Council: A New Model for Operationalizing Physician Engagement

Most physicians are looking for alternative revenue streams to augment the income they receive for care provided directly to patients. That reality, coupled with the migration of many inpatient services to the outpatient setting, has compelled doctors to consider investment in enterprises such as surgery centers, imaging facilities, dialysis and infusion centers, and other health-related businesses. That effectively puts them in direct competition with the hospitals to which they admit. Historically, financial and regulatory stressors have taken a huge toll on how physicians and hospital interface on issues related to the delivery of patient care and the practice of medicine. Learn how a new organizational structure, the Physician Clinical Council (PCC), provides a framework to build trust and engage physicians in ways that are improving patient care and organizational performance.
